The Face – The infamous “Face on Mars” is so 1977. The odd-shaped hill in the Cydonia region of Mars had a face-like appearance due to the lighting and angle of the Viking 1 orbiter image. Subsequent higher resolution images reveal that this hill does not actually have a face on it . . . it’s more of a “mask.”



The Bunny – In March 2004, the Opportunity Rover and Lander cameras caught images of this small rabbit-eared “thing”, which was blown across their fields of view. Further analyses by NASA/JPL solve the mystery: a piece of insulation. Though it could easily look like some multi-legged martian creature.



The Martian Skull – In 2006 an “independent researcher” claims to have identified a skull (or helmet-shaped thing) in one of the panoramic photos taken by the Mars Spirit Rover. Most likely identification: a rock. However, our Blogadilla forensic sketch artist (me) has taken liberties to make it look more alien-skull-helmet like.
